I commented that line out on the new install. I did change that line a good while back. I also removed gnome in the USE line and removed some packages that were related to gnome. I wonder if that had something to do with it. Since I don't reboot or even log out very much, it could be something I done a while back. My uptime was almost two weeks when this happened. I shut down when storms come through but that is about it. Since I had a old CD, I'm having to do the gcc upgrade and a lot of other things as well before I even really get started emerge KDE and mozilla. I'm glad you mentioned that LDFLAG before I got to far. I would hate to have two installs doing the same thing or even worse if the LDFLAGS is the problem. Thanks for the help. I just hope I can send this email. This is in Kmail by the way. Dale :-) -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
